    What you did with it doesn't matter.  Just enter the 1099R you got.  It will be taxable and a 10% Early Withdrawal Penalty if you are under 59 1/2.

     

    The easiest way to get to the 1099-R entry screen is to simply search for 1099-R (upper- or lower-case, with or without the dash) in your TurboTax program and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.

     

    Enter a 1099R under

    Federal Taxes on the left side

    Wages & Income at the top

     

    Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security,

    Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plans (1099R) - click Start or Revisit

     

    If you are filing a Joint return be sure to pick which person it is for.

    Thanks.  That's what I thought, but had to ask anyway.
